Hopefully AMD will make a good comeback, if only for the prices of all equipment. Core i7 takes the piss still tbh and needs some competition.

GPUs will be interested to watch develop, multi-GPU cards seem to be the way nVidia want to go for the moment, with the new 295.

QFT

if AMD dont come back with a killer product, then they will go the way of Cyrix (remember the PR120 ?)

as far as video card go, i think Nvidia have it all to do, but i think thats a good thing. I like the performance of Nvidia, but i prefer ATi as i run a 4850 with an acellero S1 and 120mm fan on it, in my HTPC, and i find it better for video decoding.

Hopefully Bluray writers will drop in price, and come into the mainstream.
